Had a mucocele in my inner lip surgically removed 2 mnt ago. result of the surgery is that i have a hard small scar tissue bump. will it go away?

Should: This may be a need for more time. Discuss this with your surgeon.

Unlikely: Usually this area gets fibrosed and the bump will remain. May change size slightly.

Perhaps in time: It is not unusual for it to take up to 1 year for scar tissue to diminish. It may or may not go away completely. You can always consider revision surgery if it bothers you enough.

Not Uncommon: Some mucoceles can be fairly large salivary glands within the mucosal tissues of the lip. Careful dissection of the gland as well as harvesting of additional glands will often result in a firm nodule of scar tissue during healing. I advise my patients that this is common, and over time, the firm nodule will usually blend in with the underlying tissues and become less noticeable.
